What you always can do is transfer nameservers, admin/tech/billing contact to somebody else. Then later change the postal address and you're all set, especially in your case where the "company" name is "High Performance Net" Basically you're *not* transferring the domain, simply changing all it's bits. Usually this is not so easy since you've tied an actual company to it. And yes, this is a very big pain in the ass. I've been through it at the beginning of this year where they didn't require lawyers yet and it took us two months and more in phone costs to the internic's not-so-very-competent frontdesk than the actual registration fees. On the other hand, hey, it's a cool name, do you really want to give it away now because of $35?
